Southern Shifted Vs Northern Shifted Levantine

This is a tool I developed for understanding Southern Shifted Vs Northern Shifted.

One way to have a general idea whether a Levantine sample is more Northern shifted or Southern shifted is by removing the Levantine populations and keeping only Roman_Greek and Southern populations like ancient Egyptians, and "Arab". I have always said the Levantine component can be approximated by a mixture of Aegean and Arab, hence the biases in results sometimes. Anyhow, Iron Age Megiddo and Bronze Age Canaanites from Sidon and Iron Age 2 Ashkelon are approximately 50-50. The more Roman_Greek that you have in this calculator the more Northern shifted that you are, the more Southern Egyptian&Arab that you have the more Southern shifted you are.
